The Reds start a 3-game set against the last-place Washington Nationals, who are 15-40 heading into tonight. The home team has a 10-game winning streak in this series, with both teams sweeping at home last season. Neither team is playing particularly well right now, with the Reds dropping 7 of their last 10 and the Nationals managing just 4 wins in their last 23 games. This is a great opportunity for the Reds to beat up on a bad team, but with the way they have been hitting lately, who knows?
The Reds will be facing rookie Jordan Zimmermann for the first time. The 23-year old has been erratic through his first 9 big league starts. He has pitched better at home than on the road though, posting a 4.85 ERA and striking out nearly 6 times as many batters as he has walked. He's somewhat prone to giving up the long ball, particularly to right-handers, who have hit 5 off of him in 87 AB. I have no idea on how prone he is to giving up sacrifice hits though.
Johnny Cueto will take the mound for the Reds, making his 12th start of the season. Cueto had his streak of consecutive games completing 7 innings or more broken in his last start when he only managed to go 6.1 innings against the Cardinals. He still pitched well in that start, scattering 7 hits and allowing just 1 run while striking 3 and walking nobody. This will be his 3rd start against the Nationals after going 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA in 13 innings against them last season.
Other than that, I don't think there are any story lines. Lemme double check....nope, nothing else interesting about tonight's game. Enjoy it anyway!
Also, as much as possible, let's try to keep the draft coverage in the draft thread. I realize there will be some overlap, but I'd hate for an interesting discussion on a new draftee to get lost in a game thread.

Just realized that I’m going to be the lucky recipient of an mlb.tv blackout tonight.
Does anybody have any experience with using proxies with mlb.tv?
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I would guess
A free proxy that’s not in the blackout area. Canadian, maybe?

So I'm using mobile broadband...
and mlb.tv says it’s unable to identify my location. Therefore, I’m blacked out of all games.
Nice.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
I dunno, every time I get the "unable to identify location" message,
It says “if you think this is in error, blah blah blah” and I don’t pay attention. I guess you didn’t get that message?
Yeah, it gives me that message
and asks for my credit card. But they already have my credit card info…

I can't find the video
but it was an SNL sketch from back in the Rob Schneider days. Nicolas Cage played Tiny Elvis. The main joke was that he thought everything was huge and his handlers just laughed and said “You got that right, Tiny Elvis!”
The transcript is here, if you are so inclined, but it loses something in the translation, especially since it was only mildly funny to begin with.

does Arthur Rhodes dress every day
in a leather suit with bling to match his earrings? Because I can totally see that.
All in all, I woudln’t want to spy on the team just because I like the personalities I’ve invented for all of them. Nix and Maloney going to GWU to hit on freshmen, Hanigan mumbling to himself at the bar punching the next person who says “Hernandez”, etc.

So Rob Dibble is the Nationals' color guy
They’re showing Reds clips
"It's like my father used to say, "When I was a child, I thought as a child and spoke as a child. And when I became a man, I took that child out back and had him shot.' "
Just got the game on
He’s and the other announcer have just been talking Reds stuff.
Showing clips from ’90. And also clips of Dibble and Tim Tuffle, throwing at someone on the Astros, who threw his helmet at Dibble as he charged the mound (who was it?). And of course the time he threw a Doug Dicenzo-suicide squeeze bunted ball at Dicenzo. Dibble said it was a childhood Wiffle ball flashback and he wishes he could take it back.
I’ll keep track of Dibble via the Cowboy Meter I just bought from Sharper Image.
"It's like my father used to say, "When I was a child, I thought as a child and spoke as a child. And when I became a man, I took that child out back and had him shot.' "

from mlbdrafttracker
Comments: As a six-foot righty, people may want to overlook Leake as a big-time pitching prospect, but they might be missing the boat. He can throw four pitches for strikes and his poise is off the charts. He may not be that big, but he’s athletic, strong and durable with an extremely efficient delivery. He’s done nothing but perform with the Sun Devils and whoever looks past his size could have themselves a steal.

Some interesting things from TT:
Hamilton batted .467 with 7 HR, 38 RBI and 13 SB this season.
He’s a raw athlete who hasn’t played a lot of baseball, nor has he faced great competition. He features tremendous speed, rating a 70 on MLB’s 20-80 scale.
Hamilton has an outstanding arm and has hit 94 off the mound, leading me to wondere if his future is on the hill. His skills make him the rare high schooler capable of remaining at shortstop as a pro. He also is capable of playing CF. Hamilton signed to play football at Mississippi State.
God, he’s good.
is he flying solo in the draft thread right now?
also, for those curious, Hamilton is from Mississippi
Not many there as far as I can tell.
A few thought it was the game thread. But people have mostly migrated here.

Weee a win
Eighty-five percent of the f*ckin' world is working. The other fifteen percent come out here. A f*ckin' playground for the cocks*ckers.

I gotta say, the balls and strikes were pretty bad
And very different from the beginning of the game.
Thank goodness.
I would have been so pissed if we hadn’t won that.
And Adam Dunn's spirit, ranging for revenge / With Ate by his side come hot from hell, / Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice / Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war...

/2008 and 2007’d

im not complaining, really
it just seems like this is our lot this year. if a team could finish 3 games above .500, i would bet we would
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
That was the definitiono of bare minimum
from the offense.

Another crummy offensive night...
Dusty better start spending quality time with Jay Bruce…teach him the art of hitting..Jacoby sure ain’t getting it done.
But as sMarty says – “A win is a win is a win”.
Sweat plus sacrifice equals another useless out. Mads
Ah . . .
The two-way phone Seinfeld episode is on TBS. Not that there is anything wrong with that!
This was the very first Seinfeld episode I ever saw. I was anti-Seinfeld until I saw it.
you were anti-Seinfeld before you saw it?
That doesn’t seem very objective
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
were you plied with lots of heavy downers and jack daniels?
That’s the only way I was ever able to watch more than 10 minutes of Seinfeld,,,,a show about nothing by a bunch of smirking whiners…I know I know I know – Even Mrs. M. loves Seinfeld
Sweat plus sacrifice equals another useless out. Mads
I just realized how insane it is to have Taveras/Hairston bat 1-2

Late to the party, but I brought beer
How you guys doing? I got home just in time to see CoCo wrap it up. What have I missed over the last 4-5 days? :)

How'd the boy's game go?

Eight year olds' games should not start at 8:00 PM
But they won 19-7 and the boy was 1-2 with a walk and a HBP.

Agree about the time — that's just NBA dumb
And not a bad evening.
